[QUOTE="Brown Spider, post: 1862767, member: 52461"] I have not seen anyone on this thread suggesting that they are "ready to hang" anyone! There are people here who do not agree with the tactics reportedly used, and those people are [B]NOT[/B] taking the side of the involved Employer. Please don't compare this incident to past struggles where Union men and women were in harms way while fighting in the streets for our rights. On the surface, this appears to be a handful of thugs screaming obscenities in the face of a woman. Not handing out any awards for that. This isn't even the first time that Local 25 thugs have tried to muscle a woman! There was a time in our history when our Union was a haven for members of Organized Crime. When that happened, there were members who mindlessly defended the likes of Tony Pro and Sally Bugs as legitimate labor leaders. They were anything but! Nonetheless, there were and are members who attempt to legitimize the actions of made mobsters and common street thugs. By all means Wide, let this matter be addressed by the court...but in the meantime, don't try to make heroes out of these guys. [/QUOTE]
